Sorry that you have had to deal with all these problems on your Bronco it is super unfortunate. Hopefully Ford will be able to find the issue and resolve it, wish you the best of luck keep us updated on what happens with it very interested on what is causing the issue.
Back Story
As many of you know, the alternator on the new Ford Bronco has officially proven to be a massive headache when introduced to excessive mud and grit. It's unfortunate because the Bronco was designed to take on wild terrain, yet it so easily succumbs to the elements. If you find...
I think it would be somewhat simple to design a shield but not sure about the overheating aspect. Most of the mud accumulated in the back of the alternator which isn't easily accessible with or without a shield. So I'm not sure the best route to go as far as a shield. We will definitely be...
The plan right now is to shoot a How To Video on removing the alternator for the 2.7. The only thing I wonder with the cleaned alternator is how long it will last. Not sure if I want to replace it yet or not. I guess I will have to decide which one to put back in when I do the removal video. Is...
So this is going to be a big write up that I'm hoping will answer most of the questions concerning the alternator situation. First up, we are currently working on a video of the removal and cleaning of the non-functioning alternator. Hopefully that will be up in a couple weeks. For those who...
Mitch Chiming in with an Update: Looks like it's gonna be alternator pull day(hopefully today). I took my skid plate off and sprayed the mess out of the alternator with the electric cleaner. I disconnected negative battery terminal to reset the system. Then I went for a test drive keeping an...
Mitch chiming in here: That is probably a decent synopsis. I may have to snag a can and go to work. Anything to keep from having to pull the alternator, but if it comes to it, it'll be more wrench time=more learning. We'll see how it goes.
Mitch chiming in here: After last year's mud expeditions, I'm in the same boat as you when it comes to mud. haha HOURS AND HOURS of my life went to cleaning the poor thing :LOL: don't get me wrong, it was fun, but after weighing the fun vs the outcome, I'll have to buy something I can thrash and...
Mitch chiming in here: I watched Krista's video and I may go that route if I have to. From talking to Ford, it won't be covered by warranty. (They said the dirt would be hard to miss haha) Although when you think about it, because I was blasting through a water puddle, not a mud puddle, I'm...
Mitch chiming in here: Yeahhhh, that was me:ROFLMAO: haha I learned to hate the mud after that. I still think it's absolutely fun to drive through, but I can't justify the time I spent cleaning my Bronco afterwards lol I would need a Piece-of-Junk vehicle that I could put away wet to get me to...
